I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of Stat...es. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

This is peace with dignity. This is peace with commitment. This is our gift to our peoples and the generations to come.... It will... be real, as we open our hearts and minds to each other.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The gulf between employers and the employed is constantly widening, and classes are rapidly forming, one comprising the very rich ...and powerful, while in another are found the toiling poor. As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel.

Indeed, I believe that in the future, when we shall have seized again, as we will seize if we are true to ourselves, our own fair ...part of commerce upon the sea, and when we shall have again our appropriate share of South American trade, that these railroads from St. Louis, touching deep harbors on the gulf, and communicating there with lines of steamships, shall touch the ports of South America and bring their tribute to you.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already... so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Fantasy works inwards upon its author, blurring the boundary between the visioned and the actual, and associating itself ever more... closely with the Ego, so that the child who has fantasied himself a murderer ends by becoming a Loeb or a Leopold. The creative Imagination works outwards, steadily increasing the gap between the visioned and the actual, till this becomes the great gulf fixed between art and nature. Few writers of crime-stories become murderers--if any do, it is not the result of identifying themselves with their murderous heroes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
